First, you will have to learn how to spell "to," especially if you're using Visual Basic.

If you learn well by example, I would recommend www.pscode.com, lots of good stuff there.

Otherwise, get a book like "Learn C++ in 21 Days" or "C++ For Dummies" and "More C++ For Dummies"

Also, learn the significance of capitalization. You Capitalize The First Letter Of Words That Either Come At The Beginning Of A Sentence, Or Are Proper Nouns.

Your post was painful to read.

Zak - I just assumed his entire post was a title :)

Slob - From what I've seen of you, Visual Basic would probably be a good first step.  Go "buy" Visual Studios 6 (I won't promote piracy) and get a book on VB and play around with it.

Some points on your spelling... it's "which" and "learn" not "witch" and "lern".

Spelling is very important in programming, and as iago said, VB is a good first step.

This guy is resurrecting ancient threads with posts that're barely of value if they were timely - and none now that the original thread is long dead.  I say ban him.

That's all I need.  JoeCool is banned.

Btw, I wasn't talking about him on AOL.  It was Slob, the original poster.  Everything about his post is AOL.

Hey, I don't know about you guys, but if Slob is really dedicated to programming (despite his grammar), I applaud him for it. There are a lot of people out there who just want to 'copy n' paste' code and say they are programmers, and if Slob wants to actually get a book and read it, then we shouldn't flame him for it. :)

It's spelled grammar, but I give you an 'A' in effort for trying to make your post error free.  And yes, that was a pun.
